You have been assigned to write an IDP for an up and coming leader for IHG. Jessica Jones has been an employee at the company for just over 7 years. She has moved quickly through the ranks, working from an entry -level desk agent to now working as a General Manager of a medium-sized hotel. Now she wants to take her expertise from the field to corporate head quarters, where she has just been named to a position leading a small team that writes and reviews Best Practice processes for the hotel group. Jessica's goal is to become a senior leader for the organization, but she is not sure if she wants to go back into the field (as a District Manager) or remain at Headquarters and pursue a career leading Hotel Operations Processes. Using the template on the course website and the information available in the case and on IHG's website, write an Individual Development Plan for Jessica. The plan should take her through the next 2 to 3 years of her career. Use at least 1 activity from the case study, and identify at least 3 additional activities outside of the experiences through Leaders Lounge. Remember, part of the IDP process is to help Jessica determine which position will be the best fit for her, so think about different activities that can help her make a decision about her goals. **Write a 1 to 2 page paper detailing why you selected each developmental activity, leveraging outside resources to strengthen your arguments. **Add the IDP to the appendix of your paper. Rewrites are not accepted on this assignment.
